Thing 3: RSS

I had previously set up a bloglines account when I was in graduate school, but I wasn't using it. This was a good opportunity to refresh my learning about RSS. I thought the Common Craft video was a good, basic explanation of RSS.

On my favorites in IE, I have a Microsoft Feeds section. I can subscribe to RSS Feeds here and get to them easily from the favorites button rather than going to BlogLines. I assume the downside to this method is that I won't see the feeds if I'm using another computer. Guess I better stick with bloglines.

I subscribed to 2 news feeds and two blog feeds. I do wonder how I will find the time to read all the posts!

I would like to know the favorite blogs or news sites of other 23 Things participants.
